Rucking at All Events!
Rucking is a physical activity that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack (called a rucksack). The term comes from the military, where soldiers train and operate carrying heavy loads over long distances. In civilian fitness and recreation, rucking is gaining popularity as a versatile and low-impact workout. We now offer it at all Wisconsin Trail Assail Events!

This is a Cupless Series!
The Wisconsin Trail Assail Series is a Cupless Series!
As runners, we strive to protect the environment, and the thought of tossing 100,000+ cups into landfills each year doesnât sit right with us. Thatâs why weâve gone cupless!
But donât worryâaid stations are here to stay! Youâll still find water and sports drinks available at every event; you just need to bring your own reusable cup or hydration gear.
Plan Ahead:
- Bring a reusable cup, bottle, or whatever you use during training.
- Take advantage of our expanded bag drop areas, where you can leave your nutrition or hydration supplies for easy access.
Letâs work together to enjoy the trails while keeping them beautiful for future generations! 🌿👟
